ARRIVE • RUN • STAY!!!!
This year, Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce officials are stating “ARRIVE • RUN • STAY” as a slogan for its Allegheny River Running Fest on September 11, 2022. This fest, GOACC’s new event in 2020, aptly named ARRF is all set for this year. Erica Dreher, GOACC Member Services Manager reported, “Last year, even with COVID/social distancing, we had a very successful turnout of 126 participants – we anticipate even more this year!”
 
STILL TIME to FLOAT the ALLEGHENY
GOACC continues to see the Float the Allegheny promo passes to get more people out on the Allegheny River and then have some food once they are finished! The promo includes a single kayak trip rental and meal option – all for $30 total.
 
The GOACC Corporate Golf Classic pits businesses against businesses in a heated competition to be deemed CORPORATE winners (and COMMUNITY winners!). The event also donates the 50/50 and portions of other contests to a community cause/effort. This year, the golf classic was able to donate $750 to the Michele Krahe Peace Scholarship Fund with the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation. The event was happy to be able to support this program and to help with our community’s quality of life through this donation.
